Meet Our Board Of Directors

Serving on our Board of Directors means being a part of our Mountain Park family. It means being active in and around our community. Our board is a working board, and is made up of individuals with varying backgrounds, all dedicated to our mission of serving our community. We value the diverse perspectives our board members bring to the decisions we make together. Learn more about our individual board members below.

Chair
Phoenix Police DepartmentMember since: 2016

I have worked in law enforcement for more than two decades. As the commander of the Phoenix Police Department’s Strategic Information Bureau, I am responsible for running the Crime Analysis and Research Unit, Records Management System, Digital Forensics Unit, Forensic Imaging Unit and Data Integrity Unit. As a board member, I bring a unique perspective when addressing certain issues within the communities Mountain Park serves.

I am married and we have five children, three of which are grown. I also have a Rottweiler, Canaan who is always happy to see me when I get home. One of my greatest passions is music because it’s a way for me to relax. I currently play the guitar in a funk band called “Stone Cold Funk.”

As a physician, it has always been important for me to surround myself with like-minded people. For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in how to best serve and improve the health of my patients. I found out about Mountain Park through a colleague in 2009 and since I have in some way been involved with the organization. In my eyes, Mountain Park has always been a team-oriented and forward-thinking organization that focuses on giving people an equal opportunity at a healthy life.

I have worked in various capacities as a gastroenterologist and educator at Mayo Clinic and Arizona State University. After 7 years as the dean of the Mayo Medical School at Rochester, Minn., my wife and I moved to Arizona. I was given the opportunity to join ASU as an executive vice provost. Three months into my new role College of Health Solutions was created and I became the founding dean helping develop the School of Science of Healthcare Delivery. Currently, I work in the provost office as a senior advisor helping coordinate ASU’s health-related activities and trying to serve as a bridge between ASU and the community, improving health.

In the early 80s, my wife and I wanted to break away from the constant cycle of school and thought to leave the east coast. We learned that the Indian Health Services in Southern Arizona had two openings, so we jumped at the chance to relocate for a year. After our flight, as we were driving through Tucson we felt like we landed on the moon. Coming from North Carolina, where it’s lush and green, it was a shock seeing the desert so vast and brown. We called Arizona our home, our son was even born here and later, my daughter came to ASU to do a dual medical and law degree that the university was offering. Having that early experience is what made moving to Arizona easier.

My wife Noralane, who is a medical geneticist at Mayo Clinic, and I met in med school in 1975. We have two children and two grandchildren. Our son lives in St. Paul, Minnesota with his 4-year old son and my daughter is still in Minnesota but will be joining my wife and I in Arizona with her husband and 10-month old daughter. When we have time, we enjoy gardening and landscape. I enjoy reading and art. Most of my work hasn’t really been artistic or visual so I try and do something different when I have time to relax.

Working and volunteering in the nonprofit sector is an important part of my life. I joined the Mountain Park Board of Directors because I understand how impactful community health centers are and I wanted to help make a difference in the lives of those in my community. The mission of helping others have access to healthcare is something that pulled me toward joining this specific board.

I have worked in finance for many years. My daily life revolves around helping community health centers stay on track financially by seeing how they did compared to how they thought they would do. I help them plan for the future from a financial perspective and help see where the organization can grow successfully to help serve those who need healthcare.

Outside of Mountain Park and my work I enjoy volunteering and staying connected to the community. One organization I love volunteering for is Rancho Feliz where I get to travel to Agua Prieta, Mexico, and help build homes and orphanages.

Every day I get to go home to my beautiful wife who is a coach. We have two children who learned the importance of volunteerism at an early age. We are all runners, so you can spot us at the annual Mountain Park race as a family. Other than running, I love to play tennis and basketball. I also enjoy watching Phoenix teams like Diamondbacks, Suns and Cardinals.

I am a big believer in the partnerships of individual responsibility, providers that keep you healthy and the community in which you live in. I have always been drawn to organizations that understand this connection which I is why am glad to be a part of Mountain Park.

Early in my career I had the opportunity to travel to Venezuela where I realized that public health was the right career path for me. While there, I was able to experience the great things that can happen when physicians work with members of the community to make impactful changes related to health. I am originally from Texas, but as a child we traveled a lot because my father was in the Air Force. Like many families, my parents had a huge influence on me. My dad always taught me to listen to everyone because there is a lot that can be learned from other people’s experiences. My mom encouraged me to find a career I loved and regardless of the job, to do it to the best of my ability because work ethic is a reflection of myself and my family. I’ve tried to always live my life with this in mind.

I have been married to my incredible husband for 40 years and together we have a daughter who lives in Portland. In my spare time I like to hike, read, spend time with my dog—an Australian Shepherd—and I’m learning how to play golf.

As a single mom, a social worker, community advocate and patient, I bring a unique perspective to the Mountain Park Board of Directors. I’m proud to be a part of this community and be able to advocate for social justice and access to affordable, high-quality care.

For more than 15 years, I have worked and built relationships with individuals from a variety of sectors, diverse communities and socio-economic levels. I love connecting people and leveraging community resources to meet the needs of local citizens. I spend my life working intimately in the community and giving voice to those who need us most.

I am blessed to have the love and support of my family, the entire community, and my pup Buki. My son, Sam, motivates me to be the best I can be every day of my life. When I’m not working or being involved in community events, I enjoy spending my time outdoors. I practice yoga and love going to live concerts. I also donate a lot of my time by volunteering with local organizations that promote justice and human rights, as well as chairing my neighborhood association.

Serving our communities is a way for me to stay in touch and make a positive difference. Growing up in a low-income household, my parents really had to know where to cut corners. Oftentimes, we had to go without and getting sick was not an option. I remember as a child that going to the doctor always seemed to put a financial strain on my family, even with well-check visits.

Being a part of Mountain Park Health Center, and working to make healthcare attainable to all hits home for me. I have worked in healthcare for more than 30 years, 13 of those working in hospitals and the last 18 in hospice and palliative care.

I am a father of two teenage daughters and am married to a spectacular woman. We have a rescue dog and two rescue cats. When I’m not working, I enjoy watching my daughters compete in soccer and cheerleading. I also love football, bodybuilding, cooking, gardening, mountain biking and of course hiking.

I grew up in a neighborhood that was diverse, both ethnically and spiritually. My family is Italian and my parents taught me that it didn’t matter what your ethnic heritage, gender, religion or sexual orientation, if someone needed help, you helped. I follow this mantra to this day. My parents worked hard—two jobs—and tried to instill in my brother and I that by working hard and helping others, you will make a difference anywhere you go.

Serving on the Board of Directors is important to me because working with the staff at Mountain Park has shown me what a difference the organization makes in the community. From serving free breakfast and lunch in the summer, to encouraging a healthy lifestyle, they go beyond traditional healthcare.

My wife and I have been married for more than 30 years. We have a Pitbull/Boxer mix named Louie. I am a small business owner of a picture framing business. I’m a huge advocate for independent and locally owned businesses. In my free time, when I’m not working, I really enjoy playing ice hockey, riding my motorcycle and collecting various sports memorabilia.

I have always had an interest in public health. For nine years I worked for Chicanos Por La Causa as the health and nutrition coordinator. That is where my relationship with Mountain Park began. I started referring families to the Baseline Clinic. The relationship between Chicanos Por La Causa and Mountain Park enhanced and I was able to help keep children healthy. When I found out about everything that Mountain Park offers, and all the locations in the valley, I was shocked and fell in love with the organization because of their integration of WIC, behavioral health and registered dietitians. I decided to join the Mountain Park board of directors because I have always felt the need to be connected to the community and Mountain Park is a perfect example of family and community.

Currently, I work as a professor at Grand Canyon University. I love teaching and being able to be innovative with the curriculum and what I teach students. Also, I am a student myself and am working on my doctorate of public health with an emphasis on maternal child health. Early childhood development has always been another passion of mine. I believe that you have to start young to make the best decisions that will influence your life as an adult.

When I am not working or studying, Eva and Emiliano—my two children—keep me busy and on my toes.

It is so hard finding a medical home where you feel respected and valued. I became a patient at Mountain Park in 2013 and I remember how scary it felt to walk into the clinic for the first time after my incarceration. You never know how people are going to receive you, but from the start the staff was so welcoming and helpful. It made the experience a lot easier. Mountain Park has a great family feel; they don’t just talk about treating their patients well, they’re actually doing it.

When I joined the Board of Directors, I knew that I would bring my personal and professional experience to Mountain Park. As the Community Partnership Coordinator for the ACLU of Arizona, I have a deep connection with our community. I always want to be on the front line advocating for social justice issues. One of the biggest battles I’m always fighting is stigmas against people who have been incarcerated and advocating for a fair re-entry. When people think about diversity and inclusion, they tend to think about race and ethnicity. What they forget is that diversity and inclusion also includes people who have spent time in prison.

I’m co-owner of a small screen-printing business called Certified Printing. I enjoy art and music, and landscaping. Backyard remodeling fascinates me. I think a backyard should be their first retreat where a person can go after a long day, so I spend a lot of time making sure my backyard is the perfect getaway.

I found out about Mountain Park from a family friend who was a long-time board member here. I knew Mountain Park would be a perfect fit for me because of the diversity both in the employees and the patients. It’s amazing to me how patient-centered Mountain Park is and how the organization focuses on breaking down barriers to healthcare, and I wanted to be a part of that.

Currently I work for a government affairs firm helping U.S. cities increase trade with Mexico. As a Latina, I come to Mountain Park with a knowledge of the Spanish language, as well as expertise in government policy at the federal, state and local level. I have a journalism background, so writing and communicating with people comes with ease. As an Arizona native I really understand the needs of the community.

I come from a huge family. My mom is one of five and my dad, one of nine children. I have many aunts, uncles and cousins and I love spending time with all of them. When I’m not working or spending time with my family, I enjoy staying active and cooking. I’m a huge foodie! I travel a lot both in the U.S. and internationally, and love exploring the unknown. One of my favorite cities I’ve traveled to is Buenos Aires, Argentina—but don’t tell that to my Chilean friends (I lived in Santiago, Chile, for almost a year and a half, and Chile and Argentina have friendly competition…in just about everything).
